The award runs through September 30, 2027, and covers operations in Connecticut.

Under this formula grant, the Connecticut Department of Education passes funding to multiple sub-recipients to deliver child care food sponsor administration. Sub-recipients identified in the award record include Access Agency, Inc., Hartford School District (Hartford Public Schools), and Team Inc., which collectively receive allocations to carry out sponsor administration work supporting eligible children and adults enrolled in child care centers, day care homes, and afterschool care programs. The Child and Adult Care Food Program provides federal reimbursement for nutritious meals and snacks to participating facilities and allocates funds to state agencies for administration expenses, including establishment of grievance procedures, institutional audit oversight, and compliance monitoring.
